This costume is made from a white tee and pants, with black tape forming the stick figure lines. A paper face with eye holes, attached to sunglasses or a headband, completes the look. It's quick, easy, and allows clear vision for safe Halloween fun.

You'll need

Directions

  1. From the posterboard, cut a big circle for the head. With the permanent marker, sketch a face on it. Then cut out eye openings using scissors. Test that your child has clear vision through the holes, particularly if they'll be trick-or-treating after dark.
  2. If you have sunglasses, remove the lenses and tape the paper face onto the frames. Alternatively, fasten the face to a headband or hat.
  3. Apply strips of black tape onto the white shirt and pants to create the body and limbs of a stick figure.
